The initial overnight ratings are in for Part 1 of the crossover, and while they aren’t as high as last year’s crossover numbers, it’s still an improvement over what the live ratings have been for Arrow previously this year.

Part 2 of “Crisis on Earth-X” — The Arrow episode — is looking at 2.54 million viewers and a 0.9/3 in the Ages 18-49 demographic for now. The final ratings can and will go up once DVR and other things are factored in; it is possible that some viewers wanted to watch it all in one clump since it is like a four-hour movie.

In the previous hour’s overnights, Supergirl had a 0.9/3 as well, with 2.65 million viewers.
